Describe three main findings of what research has to say about how children become fluent readers
What will be an ideal response?
Responses may include:
• The theory of automatic information processing was designed by LaBerge and Samuel. This theory suggests that the human mind functions in some ways like a computer. Readers vacillate between decoding and comprehension. If decoding is not mastered, comprehension becomes difficult or even impossible.
• The National Reading Panel found that fluency practice is most effective when reading practice is oral, involves repeated readings of a text, and students receive appropriate feedback.
• Prosody, or vocal expression, has been linked to later fluency development.
• The text difficulty should be modified based on the type and amount of support available to the student at the time of reading.
